Chapter 416: Killing Intention

Concubine De stood outside and listened, her face stiff and ugly. For a moment, a deep, mocking smile flashed across her lips.

Should I feed the dog?

It was indeed fed to the dog. After all, isn’t that how the royal family has always been?

What everyone is chasing is wealth and wealth above ten thousand people, and the power of life and death in the world. To them, it means nothing.

The emperor and the queen have been very affectionate and harmonious over the years. Is it not because the queen has great power?

The queen kept saying that she was doing it for the royal family of Jin, but when she came to Jin for marriage, it was because her reputation in Mu was ruined and she couldn't find a place to live in Jin, so she came to Jin in the name of marriage.

Rather than saying that she was kind to Jin, it would be better to say that they complemented each other.

Everything she did was for herself. She only maintained a superficial sense of motherly kindness and filial piety to the four princes, and never thought about passing the throne to them in the future.

All she could think about was her daughter.

But that’s fine.

Concubine De sneered coldly. The four princes were originally fierce rivals. Now that the queen and Yan Li had eliminated the other three for them, it was just right for Yan Yun to reap the benefits.

It's just that Jiang Yi and Yan Li are still not ruthless enough and don't understand the principle of cutting the grass to remove the roots.

When Yan Yun takes the throne, Yan Zheng, Yan Chen and Yan Jin will all die. Keeping them alive means leaving a risk to yourself.

And Yan Li...

"Empress De Fei." Yun Si walked out of the palace and curtsied, "The Queen has decreed that she will stay here to accompany the Emperor tonight. Please ask Concubine De to take the maid back to your own palace."

Concubine De's face changed: "The queen has many things to do every day, such as serving the emperor -"

"Your Majesty means the same thing." Yun Si said calmly, "Please go back, Concubine De."

Concubine De's face turned gloomy and she looked coldly at the palace door without saying a word.

I thought that the queen would break up with the emperor if she got tired here, but she didn't expect that she would stay here for the night.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have agreed to let her come over just now.

but……

Concubine De turned her head and looked at the crowd of Imperial Guards in front of her. Thinking of the people Yan Yun had attracted, she felt secretly resentful in her heart.

Only 30% of the people in the Gyeonggi Guard are willing to be used by them, and the others are completely indifferent. Otherwise, how can these imperial guards be the opponents of their mother and son?

When Yun'er takes over the power, all those who oppose them today will definitely die in the future.

Concubine De snorted in her heart and stepped into the palace door.

The atmosphere in the palace was tense. Emperor Wen and the Empress, who were obviously confronting each other in front of the imperial court, had ugly expressions. They looked at Concubine De with cold expressions.

"Didn't I ask you to go back first?" Jiang Yi frowned and said in an angry tone, "Is Concubine De worried that I will kill the king tonight, or does she mean that the emperor belongs to you alone and no one else is allowed to accompany you?"

"That's not what I mean." Concubine De bowed her knees slightly, "I am just worried that the queen is busy with government affairs and is powerless, so she will tire the queen sister at night."

Emperor Wen leaned on the dragon couch, his face full of fatigue: "You two don't have to stay tonight, I want to be alone."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine De's face changed slightly.

"Get out!" The emperor suddenly picked up the tea cup on the imperial desk and smashed it out. "Get out of here!"

Concubine De was startled, her face turned pale, and she looked at the queen with some fear: "Sister Queen, won't you leave?"

"Sure enough, the soldiers are strong and the people are cowardly. Tonight, Concubine De disobeys either the imperial edict or Yi's edict one after another." Jiang Yi straightened her back and sat upright on the chair, "The emperor and I, the emperor and the empress, are just decorations in your eyes. ?”

Concubine De gritted her teeth. He really couldn't imagine that she was still pretending to be a queen at this time, but he also knew in his heart that the imperial guards in the palace still listened to the emperor and the queen. The longer the time went on, the more detrimental it would be to her and Yun'er.

Looking at the pair of aloof emperors and empresses in front of her, Concubine De's eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent.

The troops and horses available to Yan Yun and the Shen family did not show an overwhelming advantage. If they continued to delay, if someone

In this case, it’s just a matter of doing nothing.

So what if he was accused of usurping the throne?

With this thought in mind, Concubine De bowed her knees and resigned: "I, my concubine, retire."

When she turned to leave, she had already made a decision in her heart.

"It seems that Concubine De has murderous intentions." Jiang Yi walked to the window and watched her leave in silence. She didn't speak until Concubine De took her mother and the maids away, and said, "The relationship between husband and wife has lasted twenty years. , it’s completely over at this point.”

Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly: "The people guarding the outside are all imperial guards. The assassin can't get in. The easiest way for her to succeed is to poison us. If we persist until tomorrow without eating or drinking, we won't starve to death."

Jiang Yi turned to look at him: "What if the situation is still the same tomorrow?"

"Then continue not to eat or drink." Emperor Wen smiled, his expression no longer cold and disgusted just now, but instead looked down on the freedom and calmness of life and death, "In short, I will protect this country for Li'erli."

Jiang Yi looked out the window.

Things changed in the palace just after the New Year, which seemed to be completely beyond their expectations, but it was clearly expected.

She sighed softly, turned around, walked back to the imperial desk and sat down: "With Mu Cang here, the tricks of Concubine De and her son are probably not enough."

"Although Concubine De is ambitious, I actually think what she just said makes sense." Emperor Wen frowned, "If I had a war god like Mu Cang, I would definitely not let him marry into another country. It is an immeasurable loss to the country, and Emperor Mu should have the same idea as me."

"Yes." Jiang Yi nodded slowly, "So they were destined to have a harder time than ordinary couples, because they have their own responsibilities and cannot give up easily."

Emperor Wen looked melancholy: "Not just in terms of feelings, there were many possible problems in the past, we didn't think about it carefully, now I have nothing to do, I can't help but think about it."

Jiang Yi smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, please tell me if you have any concerns in your heart, and I will think about it with your Majesty."

"Will Li'er have three palaces and six courtyards in the future?"

Jiang Yi was silent, then slowly shook her head: "Probably not."

"If she and Mu Cang have a child in the future, what will the child's surname be?"

Jiang Yi spoke subconsciously: "Since Mu Cang is married into the family, the child will naturally follow Yan Li's surname, and their child will inherit the country of Jin in the future, so it is impossible to have the surname Mu, right?"

If they follow Mu Cang's surname Mu, then Jin and Mu will not be in an alliance relationship, but will become a complete family - all descendants of the Mu family, and the future emperors will be cousins.

Jiang Yi suddenly fell silent. In fact, no matter what the child's surname is in the future, it can't change the relationship that the future emperor of Jin and the emperor of Mu will be cousins.

"Your Majesty..." Jiang Yi hesitated, "Are you worried?"

"I'm not worried, but I think their future may be difficult." Emperor Wen frowned, "After all, for the people of Jin, no matter how famous the God of War is, it can't change the fact that he is a Mu person. The ministers will inevitably be a little afraid and defensive."

Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

Once the seeds of fear are planted in the heart, it is difficult to eradicate, and they will grow like vines in the future until they become mortal enemies.

"Am I not also a foreigner?" Jiang Yi sat on the chair and smiled faintly, "I have been in power for so many years. At first, many officials in the court did oppose it, but later, I had power in my hands and the emperor supported me, so gradually no one said anything."

Emperor Wen's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at her without saying a word. After a moment, he smiled with relief: "You are right."

All facts are objective existence, and obstacles and crises can be seen everywhere.

But the crisis is not unsolvable. As long as you have enough skills, objective facts can also be slowly accepted by people.
